  • Save our souls we're splitting atoms
    Go tell Eve and go tell Adam
    Liberate your sons and daughters
    Some are gods and some are monsters
    We'll get a five minute warning for divine intervention
    With the satellites falling prepare for ascension

    Under mind control
    We'll be practicing our politics
    Defending all our policies
    Preparing for apocalypse
    Don't let the hungry serpent see you no
    No, no, no, no, no

    She'll let you fall asleep then eat you whole
    It's like a bullet to the head
    It's an SOS, it's an S.O.S.,
    Oh yes, oh yes, it's an S.O.S.
    It's an SOS, it's an S.O.S.,
    Like a bullet in the head, it's an S.O.S.

    When the levee breaks
    And Manhattan sinks
    There won't be water fit to drink
    When the winter's warm
    And the summer's cold
    The poison stops you looking old

    You'll get a five second warning for divine and intervention
    And the satellites are falling prepare for ascension
    As the earth looks on
    The odds or probability
    Of losing all capacity
    To function it's hereditary
    No antibiotic can save us now
    No, no, no, no, no
    We are the virus that we talk about

    It's like a bullet to the head
    It's an S.O.S., it's an S.O.S.,
    Oh yes, oh yes, it's an S.O.S.
    It's an S.O.S., it's an S.O.S.,
    Like a bullet in the head, it's an S.O.S.
    It's an S.O.S. it's an S.O.S.,
    Oh yes, oh yes, it's an S.O.S.
    It's an S.O.S., it's an S.O.S.,
    Like a bullet in the head, it's an S.O.S.

    Like a bullet in my head
    Like a bullet in my head
    It's an S.O.S., it's an S.O.S.,
    Oh yes, oh yes, it's an S.O.S.
    It's an S.O.S., it's an S.O.S.,
    Like a bullet in the head, it's an S.O.S.
    It's an S.O.S. it's an S.O.S.,
    Oh yes, oh yes, it's an SOS
    It's an S.O.S., it's an S.O.S.,
    Like a bullet in the head, it's an S.O.S. Writer/s: GARY BARLOW, HOWARD DONALD, JASON ORANGE, MARK OWEN, ROBBIE WILLIAMS

  • Ariel Tzentner from Tel Aviv, IsraelAnother cool fact about the song - in the beginning of the song before the vocals come in, the background melody imitates an SOS call, with 3 short beeps, then 3 long ones and 3 short ones again (can be observed between 0:12-0:26)
